Max loves 5 Guys, so I took these to send and let him know we were missing him.  He smiled and said YUM when he saw the pictures.

Nice day to sit out on the deck.  Much better than the 90’s

We got ready and left for the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor at 7:45.  I packed BelVita Crunchy bar snacks and peanut butter and crackers for a snack on the way.  We had a nice drive and good weather on the way there.  Bill got into his appointment quickly.  The Urologist told him he really didn’t need this appointment, but he confirmed that he thought what the two oncologist had told Bill was what he would do too.  Bill was out of there quickly, so we walked through the Patriot Store in the hospital.  Bill bought a neck cooler fan and I got a pair of soft jeans like the ones I have for $19.  We left and checked out the cafeteria, but they were done serving breakfast.  We decided to stop at 5 Guys.  I got our drinks and Bill got us both a container of peanuts to shuck.  We ate the nuts as appetizers.  They were so good.  We both got single hamburgers and shared fries.  The burgers were so delicious.  The fries were good.  Good thing we shared because they give you so many that 4 people could share them.  We stoped at the Faith Christian Store down the road and Bill got a new Bible for 50% off and I got a nice shirt with a Christian saying on it.  It was such a nice shop and had so many nice things in it.  I sure do miss our Christian Book Store.  We left there and ran into som heavy rain for a short time.  It was a good car wash as it cleaned my dirty windshield and made it spotless.  We got home and checked the rain gauge and it had almost two inches of rain in it.  Only 1/10 inch and it would have been 2.  My plants look better already.  Even thought I have been watering them, there is nothing like when God waters them.  Vikki had to work at school and it was super hot in the building.  She called when she got home and wanted to come over and cool down in the pool.  She and the kids came and they all cooled down.  We had spaghetti afterwards.  Bill saw that there were tornado warnings in Midland and Bay City. Vikki left right away to get home before there were any reports here of tornados.  I had my phone in my hand ready to call Kimmy when she called me.  The tornado sirens were going off.  Jared was on his way home from work.  We sure prayed.  He made it safely and they all stayed safe.  I went to prayer.  It was pouring out when I went.  No warnings though.  I prayed God would have it slow down so we call all get in the church without getting drenched.  He did just that.  It poured after we started worshiping.  It was an awesome time of prayer.  It was just sprinkling when we left to go home.  I got home and talked to Vikki.  Melissa called me because Hailey wants to spend a couple of nights here while they are at dog camp.  Yay we can’t wait.  I was talking to her and  and it started pouring hard again.  I had to hang up and go close doors so it wouldn’t rain in.  

I read over the agenda for Thursday night’s CMA zoom meeting with our area reps., prayer leads and goodie reps.  Bill did a great job on it.
